[10:28] Round 2 pages and round 1 results going up now...
[10:33] small lp with devilish theme..
[10:34] heh
[10:34] datagram: How many round did you use for calculating the results in round 1?
[10:35] *rounds
[10:35] 250, IIRC
[10:36] hmm
[10:36] What's wrong
[10:37] Nothing yet, but I thought, that Sascha's and my score were closer to 150
[10:39] datagram: I like the new rules :-)
[10:39] That works for me : )
[10:39] Unfortunately I don't have much experience with lp-settings
[10:40] I ran your match again a few times, its only close when I do it at 200 rounds
[10:40] Actually
[10:40] its kind of iffy about it
[10:40] I can run it at -P if you like...
[10:41] Do any of the mars keep track of the settings over N rounds?
[10:41] No need to, but I'd be interested nonetheless
[10:42] I.E. is it possible for them to re-use placement?
[10:42] You can use -F
[10:42] that seeds the internal "RNG" with the given value
[10:42] Not with corewin, though
[10:42] and you use the same positions in every run as long as you don't change the number of rounds
[10:43] Hmm
[10:43] I have a neat idea...
[10:43] which is?

[10:49] Interesting! I've been benchmarking various settings of a quickscanner. And choosing an "optimal" one gains you an average of 2 points against the fsh94nop-0.3 :-)
[10:50] (optimal = max. spaced scanned locations)
[10:51] Isn't that what both of our qscan scripts does?
[10:51] We could just never figure out why the non-optimal one for 94nop works better in-practice than it does in-theory
[10:52] Yes, but so far it was only a theory with little actual data available
[10:52] Now I have data for more than 1000 settings for my current warrior
[10:52] You guys are like 8-9 hours ahead of me?
[10:52] it is 12:52 here at the moment :)
[10:52] 13
[10:52] 52
[10:53] (Jun 7)
[10:53] So 8-9, right
[10:53] Okay
[10:53] That'll mean your entries are due early monday on your clocks
[10:53] I put PST because that's my time zone...and it's literally when I say "n-n-n-no" to more entries
[10:54] Also, congrats on victory to Mizcu and Fluffy
[10:54] hmm ... isn't Jun 11 not a little bit too close for a deadline?
[10:54] it is only 4 days
[10:54] Yes, sorry...I slacked off for the last 2 days
[10:55] But its only a few lines of code : ) much faster to optimize!
[10:55] And it should be 5 full days
[10:55] It's only 0400 wednesday here
[10:56] Next round should be very prompt though
[10:56] I had a girl spend the weekend here
[10:56] And it just so happens that girls >>>> corewar : )
[10:58] Anyways, gonna go read then sleep! Happy coding!

[16:04] hrm.
[16:09] It was so hot in here earlier. Now they have the air conditioning fixed, so things are getting better.
[16:09] unfortuneate.
[16:10] One of my coworkers said that it was 94 in her office.
[16:10] you're the only one here I expect who still uses the darkage measurement system for temperature :)
[16:12] Yes, I would imagine so.
[16:12] I suggest you patch your firmware to fix the defect :)
[16:12] * bvowk ducks
[16:12] Have you ever read about how Fahrenheit came up with his scale? It is absoulutely ridiculus.
[16:13] yeah, I know, whats even funnier is that the country that brought us the nuclear bomb and the internet won't give it up!
[16:13] Yes, that is the trouble with such things. Inertia of standards is the worst!
[16:13] we've harnessed the atom, so to make up for it, we're going to keep this tragic system of temperature measurement!
[16:15] There are much worse systems still in use. Such as, oh say, imperial units?
[16:15] yeah, its true, but officially almost everyone is SI these days
[16:17] Yes, but the trouble is in the absorbtion of SI into intuition. I have no clue how long a kilometer is. I could barely guess how far away something was if someone were to say "That's about 17 meters down yonder!"
[16:17] heh
[16:17] I have no point of refernce if someone told me there weight in kilos, because my poor brain has been trained to think in pounds.
[16:18] s/there/their/
[16:19] you can easily retrain yourself..
[16:19] when I grew up, it was all pounds, miles, and inches..
[16:20] but as soon as I learned about SI, I dropped my grandfathers backwards ways!
[16:20] although, its still hard to buy a scale that measures in KG here :)
[16:21] it'll have half lb resolution, but 1kg resolution in kg mode.. damn americans are trying to kill my standards!
[16:21] It is great, my dad is a civil engineer, and he sometime talks about some of his projects.
[16:21] He talks about units like: inch-acres or something.
[16:21] good lord.
[16:21] so wrong!
[16:22] inch pounds is my personal favorite measurement of bafflement.
[16:23] Yeah.
[16:24] When I took integral calculus the first time, we did most of our problems in imperial units. It was CRAZY.
[16:24] We obviously had to spend valuable time with nutty stoiciometry.

[16:25] Wow! jesus was involved in a plot to behead the canadian PM! the picture says it all!
[16:25] That is the thing you miss with SI, though. The real mechanica of stoiciometry.
[16:25] s/mechanica/mechanics/
[16:25] I can't even imagine doing real work in baffling units..
[16:27] I was misspelling it: stoichiometry, but maybe I am using the wrong word for what I am talking about, now that I have looked it up.

[17:07] Hehe, just found out a nice Javascript hack (sploit)
[17:09] You can make a browser upload files only when the user manually types the url and presses submit, but the exploit monitors every key pressed and filters the letters it needs for the URI and then uploads it heh
[17:10] So if a website says: Enter this password first "lcp:ddwo.inddooews///:beoot.ioni" it will filter out c:\windows\boot.ini (for example)
[17:10] And upload that (if they want that..)

[18:56] Hi heath
[19:00] an abyss thats only a single mile deep?
[19:00] some abyss..
[19:01] * Fluffy kicks bvowk
[19:01] 1 mile != 1 km
[19:01] :)

[20:26] As long as it is before the deadline it doesn't matter
[20:26] ok.
[20:26] whee, koen gives me 403
[20:27] but only on some warr's, it seems
[20:53] Mizcu: I, also, seem to have problems with strange, and inappropriate ideas popping into my head.
[20:53] Mizcu: Are you an INTP?
[20:57] heh
[20:57] * bvowk is INTP
[20:57] As am I.
[20:59] It is very interesting to know more than a couple INTP's since they represent less the 1% of the population, but it depends on the circles you run in, I suppose. :)
[21:01] s/the 1%/than 1%/
[21:02] yes, I've tested at a 98th percentile IQ too, and the scary thing is I know at least a dozen people who test higher than me..
[21:04] 98th percentile?
[21:04] yeah
[21:04] I think I took it in 1st grade and got 145.
[21:05] I don't know what percentile that is, but I always thought I was smarter than I think I am finding out as I get older.
[21:05] http://members.shaw.ca/delajara/IQBasics.html
[21:06] Holy crapalapa.
[21:06] just keep in mind, its almost entirely bullshit :)
[21:07] people aren't that easily compared..
[21:07] i remember doing such a test once, i have the result in the logs
[21:07] I'll agree with that.
[21:07] but not on this 'puter
[21:07] It's impossible to quantify intelligence.
[21:07] but i might as well been INTP
[21:08] I am Introvert so the first letter was correct
[21:08] :)
[21:08] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INTP
[21:08] Has a pretty good synopsis, I think.
[21:10] i hate concept maps
[21:11] Mizcu: Reading them or making them?
[21:11] both
[21:11] I had a professor who would make us do a concept map for each chapter that we were studying. IN COLOR!
[21:12] but he was your favourite teacher
[21:12] damn typo in wrong place
[21:12] but -> bet
[21:12] I really liked him actually, but I wasn't fond of the busy work that was making concept maps.
[21:13] It was hilarious though.
[21:14] I remember when I turned my first one in, he was like: "Hmm, I think this would look better in this color, and that in this other color."
[21:14] And I was like, "Dude, this is a Digital Logic class." In my head of course.
[21:18] But he was great.
